Catering to your aircraft in Eastover.
Eastover is a quiet field with an Air National Guard wing and the occasional business jet, so we keep orders compact and the handover plane-side. You tell us the aircraft, we finish the menu around its galley.
We know the galley, the diet card and the 5 a.m. re-plate — because we lived them. So we built the caterer we always wished we could call.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.

The private jet menu for Eastover, South Carolina, leans on the Midlands and the Lowcountry: the inflight menu can carry shrimp and grits, pimento cheese, boiled peanuts, peach cobbler in season and Carolina barbecue with a vinegar-pepper sauce. Private jet food from the South Carolina table travels well when it is packed for the galley: the pork pulled and chilled, the grits reheated in the oven, the sauce in its own pot. These local specialities are the starting point for private jet platters and gourmet inflight meals built around South Carolina, with Eastover as the delivery point.
Ordering a private jet menu for South Carolina means choosing between food that holds and food that needs finishing. In Eastover the local specialities that hold best are pimento cheese, benne-seed crackers, peach salad and chilled shrimp; the ones that need the oven are shrimp and grits and barbecue. The inflight menu is written around what the aircraft galley can do, and private jet food from the region is packed so the crew only re-plates.

Few crews file into KMMT without a reason: Eastover, South Carolina, is a Guard base first, and business aviation catering is built around that fact. Private jet catering for a visiting aircraft starts with the type, the headcount and the handling agent who will walk the food through airside access. Executive jet catering and diplomatic flight catering requests are treated as a protocol question before they are a kitchen one, and cabin crew meals are ordered and invoiced with the trip like everything else.
Business jet catering at KMMT is usually a light or midsize jet with a short guest list, often a corporate jet catering order tied to a Columbia-area meeting. VIP flight catering and charter flight catering follow the same brief, and luxury inflight catering means a private jet chef writing a bespoke menu around what survives in a small galley.
For a state visit aircraft catering order, the protocol office decides what is cleared, not the kitchen. Government flight catering and head of state flight catering at McEntire come with named staff, sealed packaging and VIP aviation catering handled through the base's access rules.
Dietary requests at Eastover run through the Southern kitchen's usual hiding places: lard in greens, shellfish stock in grits, wheat in a roux, pork in beans. Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free special meals are cooked and packed on separate boards, sealed and marked by seat number, and kids meals follow the same sheet. Send the restrictions with the order and we write the menu around them.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.

For crews staying on a Guard base, crew meals are an on-request line, commercial like everything else. Flight crew meals, pilot meals and cockpit meals travel in sealed crew meal boxes, crew catering is labelled and separated, and different meals for pilots are written in when the captain and first officer should not share a dish.
We arrange catering delivery to the FBO with the handling agent in advance, because airside access on a Guard base is controlled. Handling agent catering, ground handling catering and FBO catering all follow that same chain, ending at the general aviation terminal or aircraft door.
Most traffic at McEntire is a light or midsize business jet, so galley catering is carried to the aircraft door by hand or cart rather than by lift. For a larger airframe we ask for the type early, because the door height decides whether airside catering delivery needs a high loader. Aircraft provisioning at a Guard base also depends on the handling agent's airside access, which we coordinate in advance.

McEntire Joint National Guard Base is the airfield at Eastover, South Carolina, used by the Air National Guard and by visiting business aircraft, so airport catering here is a coordination job. General aviation traffic is modest, and FBO services and ground handling services are arranged around the base's schedule.
As a business aviation hub McEntire is small, but it handles inflight catering and in-flight catering for visitors that need a quiet field. Aviation catering, business aviation catering and executive jet catering run to the base's calendar, while diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals are arranged with protocol and the handling agent.
Food boarded on a domestic flight from Eastover needs no customs step, but any leg leaving the United States faces the arrival state's rules on meat, dairy and produce. We plan the menu around that and note it on the order.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“One detail shaped our order at Mc Entire Joint National Guard Base: a late menu amendment, alongside a request for a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides for 3 passengers. The Galley Girls suggested divided catering boxes for the starters, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. I could hand the snack boxes to a colleague with a short explanation instead of unpacking the whole order. I want a private jet catering company to understand packing arrangement, and this order gave us a useful starting point.”
“Our priority at KMMT was a seafood starter and warm vegetable sides for 7 passengers, with an evening cabin service shaping the service plan. The canapés from The Galley Girls were organised around the cabin plan, with the later service items kept apart. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at meal organisation after this experience. Our colleague could take over the side dishes without asking where every component had been placed during preparation.”
“Having 8 guests request beef fillet with roasted potatoes at MMT meant planning the portions carefully while accounting for a small galley worktop. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about final order confirmation. Instead of asking us to improvise, The Galley Girls explained how the breakfast portions could be arranged during service. We could finish the sauces as each guest was ready, rather than laying everything out at once.”
Start from the aircraft type. A midsize jet with a small oven and one drawer limits what is worth ordering, and that is what sets the price of private jet catering from Eastover. Peach season and fresh Carolina shrimp raise some lines; cold platters and snacks lower the total.
Lead time at McEntire is shaped by weather windows more than by the kitchen: afternoon thunderstorms in the Midlands push departures around. We keep the order flexible, and last-minute orders are handled when a window opens.
Ordering the return from McEntire means deciding where the food will be eaten. If it is consumed before the border, customs does not touch it; if it will still be aboard on arrival, we favour sealed, commercially prepared items and keep the rest light.
Yes, you can bring food. For an early morning slot at KMMT, though, we recommend ordering at least the crew boxes, since pilots rarely have a hand free before a dawn start and a cold box in the drawer is easier than anything else.
No, catering is a separate order from the charter. With a private jet charter landing at KMMT, tell us the handler and the slot, and we arrange airside delivery with them.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
